I know. There are repeated themes, similar shots, it’s all window light. It’s personal work… it doesn’t have to be groundbreaking, it just has to happen. Having a job involving creativity often requires a quick reboot, a refreshing of the mental browser, so to speak. Routine isn’t a bad thing, but it certainly can be a challenge to maintain freshness in this job when you get to the end of the busy season. I can’t thank Kyleigh and Hannah enough for some much needed personal work. PART TWO – B&W FILM FROM THE DAY.

Seriously!?! Dude, this post has got me stoked, inspired and frothin! So classy dude, awesome stuff 🙂
I got chills lookin’ at these. Not sure I’ve ever stared at another’s work for so long – I can’t take my eyes off of them. Can I see in your brain for 5 minutes please? 🙂
Great pictures. Seriously fantastic.
all amazing but LOVE the jump shot / levitation shot!!
your exposures are always so perfect.
this series… fantastico.Dang, dude. Nice.
Great stuff Jay. Love the mood.
Film or digital. I don’t care, I just love black & white photography. Even a simple photobooth filmstrip holds some sort of nostalgia for me that color just doesn’t. Classic, melancholic, emotional. It all translates so well in monochrome. For photographers, the need for tonal contrast is a great exercise for your eye, as well. Here are some selected recent b&w shots. I know, it’s a short post, it was just bouncing around in my head.
